Today's Task
- Forms:
- Set up your contact form in WS Form or Gravity Forms.
- Set up email notifications (to you) and confirmation messages (to the submitter).
- Test the form. Fill it in yourself. Does the confirmation feel right? Does the email arrive?
- Add the form to your Contact page and as an embedded section on the homepage CTA.
- SEO Basics:
- Install and configure Yoast or Rank Math.
- For each page, write a custom title tag (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 155 characters). Use your benefit-first language from Day 11.
- Set your homepage as the static front page (Settings → Reading).
- Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console (search.google.com/search-console).
- Connect Google Analytics (or a privacy-friendly alternative like Plausible).
- Performance:
- Run your site through PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev). Target: 80+ mobile score.
- Compress any images you've uploaded. Use ShortPixel or Imagify plugin.
- Enable caching via your cache plugin (LiteSpeed Cache if on Hostinger).
- Disable any plugins you're not actively using.
Output: Working forms, SEO configured, analytics connected, page speed above 80 on mobile.
